The gap in strength left Lin Buyan with no choice. Having once sworn to dedicate his life to the Lingxiao Sword Sect, he felt an agonizing hatred for his status as an agent of the Xuanyin Division. He lived in fear that Hu Er would make this fact public, and feared even more the disappointed gazes of his fellow disciples.
Recognizing that the situation was against him, he resigned himself to his fate, offering thousands in gold before kneeling at Hu Er’s feet. Because of his position in the Nine Swords, his files were burned on the spot. Hu Er promised Lin Buyan that, barring a total collapse of the world, he would remain nothing more than the sect master of the Lingxiao Sword Sect for the rest of his life, with no ties whatsoever to the Xuanyin Division.
A hibernation card, one of a kind.
